Prime Minister Montenegro announced an extraordinary supplement for pensioners and IRS tax relief measures up to the sixth tax bracket. These measures were presented as part of a Government strategy to support Portuguese families in light of the current economic situation.
According to the Executive leader, the benefits will cover approximately two million pensioners across the country. This number represents a significant portion of the Portuguese population that depends exclusively or largely on pensions as a source of income.
In addition to pensioners, the tax relief measures will also cover approximately two million Portuguese households. The combined impact of these initiatives aims to reduce the burden of the tax load and ensure greater purchasing power for citizens.
The announcement of these measures comes in a context of growing concern over the cost of living and inflation, which have particularly affected the most vulnerable groups in Portuguese society, namely elderly people with lower pensions and families with intermediate incomes.
